There is a Cuthbert, sitting at the bar with dinner.

There is also a newly acquired leatherbound notebook in which things--mostly lists, from the look of it--are being written and occasionally scribbled out. Mostly in the High Speech, though he's also taking the opportunity for more practice writing English.

There is also a recycled entrance post, but shhh.

And it's at this point that Susan herself approaches, with a curious glance for the coterie of young women that Cuthbert seems to be surrounded by.

"Susan!"

At the sight of Susan, Cuthbert pushes his way through the cluster of girls, takes her by the shoulders, and kisses her soundly.

"I have never been so glad to see you."

Still holding her shoulders, he turns and points her at the other girls.

"Tell them you don't want me wearing ruffles?"

They scatter.

Lilly's giggling; Kaylee and Anthy are looking determinedly innocent; Meg's dragging a bewildered Ami.

They're gone in seconds. Like baby quail.

Susan looks after them in some bemusement and then tilts her head back to look up at Cuthbert.

"...ruffles?"

Is that a mischievous gleam?

"And sparkles." Cuthbert says solemnly. "It was a grueling ordeal."

"I can see it would be, mayhap."

Smiling now, she leans back against him.

"Poor 'Bert. Did they tell ye why?"

Dryly, "Anthy seems to think I'm worried about what to wear for the wedding."

...

...

There are several moments' silence, and then Susan begins to laugh rather helplessly.

...Tickling Susan is probably not going to help with the laughing, is it?

Alas.

[sai_delgado]

It helps increase it, mayhap.

Susan squirms and bends forward, trying to get away, laughing harder now.
